The document discusses how to build effective partnerships between internal teams and external vendors for drug development. It emphasizes establishing clear expectations through quality agreements, defining oversight metrics, and fostering collaboration and communication. Risk management is also important, with risk assessment and identification of issues that could impact project execution. Building trust, respect, and rapport between sponsors and vendors helps ensure successful relationships.
The Secret Sauce for Successful Collaborationsnormaw55
Partnering and building alliances is the preferred model of business growth for many CEO’s. In a recent survey, 70% of CEOs plan to partner extensively and indeed the top performers among those CEO’s do just that. Partnering leverages the expertise, resources, and talent beyond the walls of a single organization. Yet many companies lack the fundamental skills, capabilities and leadership to collaborate effectively. We have found in our practice that successful collaborative business relationships are built upon four crucial ingredients.

This document discusses strategies for large-scale mining companies to promote sustainable coexistence with artisanal and small-scale mining. It recommends that companies develop an integrated corporate strategy and guideline to address both the development and risk perspectives of artisanal mining. The strategy should involve multi-level actions at the international, national and mine site levels through partnerships. It should provide guidance on issues such as formalization, health and safety, and socioeconomic development to create the basis for sustainable coexistence between large and small-scale mining.

A presentation for subject MGMT90148 (Consulting Fundamentals) at Melbourne Business School.
Designed as an engaging look at strategic alliances as a tool in business. Highlights its application, effectiveness and a guide for what successful strategic alliances entail in the corporate world.
This alliance lifecycle framework presentation was created as a tool to foster conversation and provide context on some of the questions to consider as you assess the importance and structure of a formal alliance lifecycle framework. I created this for a friend working with one of the leading Canadian consulting firms without a current formal strategy, framework or program in place for the development and management of IT channel business partner programs and relationships.
This document discusses navigating investment strategies in North America to maximize profit. It outlines Advisian's approach to reducing the time from initial feasibility study to final investment decision (FID) for major capital projects from 6-12 months compared to the traditional approach. Advisian's integrated approach considers strategy, siting, financing, and market access in parallel rather than sequentially to streamline the process. This coordinated workstreams allows projects to be brought online faster, reducing costs and increasing returns.
The document discusses the evolution of partnerships and alliances in business. It argues that cooperation, not competition, drives evolution. Successful partnerships are those that build mutual respect, develop joint solutions to meet customer needs, and leverage each partner's competitive advantages. The key is to identify complementary capabilities between potential partners to create more value for customers than any single company could alone. Different types of partnerships require different levels of commitment, from simple information sharing to joint ownership of assets.
Partners and partnerships are in a key role in many of the internationalization services provided by Finpro. This is especially true, when our client companies are aiming at emerging markets. The most popular of Finpro’s services is actually our Partner Search.
During the development of our own representative network and related processes Finpro has had to have a broad look at partnering. This has meant reviewing global partner practices of supply and distribution in parallel. One of the conclusions of this review process has been that, regardless of the perspective taken (supply or distribution), many statements are applicable to both cases. This is also visible in the seven thoughts described later in this document. The result is quite logical in business environment as most partnerships within a value chain are formed between a supplier and a distributor.
This document provides summaries of several common strategic planning models:
- SWOT analysis evaluates internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats. Insights can be summarized in a SWOT.
- McKinsey 7-S model analyzes seven internal elements: strategy, structure, systems, shared values, style, staff, and skills. Insights become SWOT factors.
- Porter's 5 Forces analyzes competitive forces. Insights become SWOT opportunities and threats.
- PEST analysis evaluates political, economic, social, and technological trends. Insights become SWOT opportunities and threats.
- Other models covered include the business model canvas, target operating model, activity system, customer segmentation, strategy canvas,
The document discusses best practices for developing performance-based contracts to ensure mission success. It outlines key factors such as defining measurable outcomes, composing acquisition teams with cross-functional expertise, identifying opportunities through market research and component business modeling, carefully scoping the work, and planning for contingencies. Performance-based contracts that focus on outcomes rather than processes and encourage innovation can benefit both agencies and contractors.
Roadmap to a successful sourcing partnership with a CROJas Randhawa
The document outlines a framework for establishing a successful long-term sourcing partnership between a biopharmaceutical company and a CRO. It recommends that companies first identify their strategic drivers for the partnership and design a delivery structure aligned with those goals. Potential partners should then be evaluated based on strategic fit, capabilities, and value. Finally, the partnership requires effective kick-off meetings, collaborative behavior between partners, appropriate oversight, and motivated project teams to ensure successful execution and longevity of the relationship.
Accounting Firm Competitiveness Cch Singapore 22nd April 2010Robert_Sawhney
This document discusses factors that shape success and competitiveness in CPA firms. It summarizes research showing that a firm's cultural orientation, especially around knowledge management, marketing, learning, and integrating strategy, knowledge management, and marketing, explains up to 70% of performance differences between firms. Leadership and values management are also important factors. The document provides examples from large accounting firms of how they approach issues like knowledge and learning, marketing with a focus on client value, and integrating strategy across business units.
Great Partnerships - DuMonde Ventures 020714Kris Lichter
This document discusses building valuable partnerships. It defines a partnership as two or more entities coming together to achieve a common goal. Partnerships can combine offerings to address market needs, develop new products/services, or expand into new areas. Potential benefits include new customers, revenue, market share, and competitive differentiation. However, not all organizations partner due to cultural differences, fear of commitment, or lack of vision.
The document recommends clearly communicating goals, listening to other perspectives, and starting small. It also discusses considerations like contacts, responsibilities, budgets, and ownership. Maintaining open communication, getting to know partners, and continually assessing goals are keys to success. Partnerships require balancing each organization's strengths and making the combination stronger over

The document discusses services provided by The Avoca Group to help companies build, measure, manage, and improve critical business relationships, particularly strategic partnerships between biopharmaceutical sponsors and clinical research organizations (CROs). Avoca has extensive experience consulting on strategic partnerships in clinical outsourcing. They developed the Art and Science of Partnering framework to help manage these relationships. Services include partnership assessments through surveys, consulting on implementation and change management, and training on best practices for strategic partnerships.
Alliances and joint-ventures the way forward in Relation marketing in ZimbabweBernard Tapiwa Sithole
The document discusses various types of strategic alliances and joint ventures, providing definitions and examples. It outlines the six markets framework for relationship marketing and applies it to MSU Zimbabwe. It then distinguishes between joint ventures and strategic alliances, providing characteristics and examples of each. The document also discusses benefits and risks of strategic alliances for universities in Zimbabwe and outlines seven common types of strategic alliances - joint ventures, outsourcing, affiliate marketing, licensing, product licensing, franchising, and R&D alliances - giving definitions and examples of each.
Principles of partnering presentation rev1Kim Newman
Partnering involves developing close, long-term relationships between organizations to work together as partners toward mutual success. It aims to secure the best position for all parties through teamwork rather than competition. Partnering requires preparation, commitment, trust, and shared goals. When implemented successfully, it can increase flexibility, quality, and value while reducing costs through improved planning and innovation.
Collaboration is everything! In today's fast moving environment, it is no longer what you know but who you know and how well you can access them. Add the pressure to innovate and the constant addition of new strategic initiatives and the need for engagement and alignment.
These new challenges require new tools.
ThinkTank by Group Systems is one of those tools - it is a web-based structured collaboration platform that we use at MACPA-BLI. This presentation covers three case studies where we have used ThinkTank to help a CPA Firm engage partners in a strategic discussion about sensitive issues and to encourage full participation, another example is how we use ThinkTank for managing partner calls to get feedback and vote on key issues we should be working on, and finally a situation involving a CFO conference where ThinkTank was used to facilitate capturing of insights and wisdom from the crowd.
We believe that in order to buy-in, people have to weigh-in and structure collaboration is a way to effectively get participation and engagement that ultimately saves time, increases alignment and the discretionary effort of your people.
The document discusses partnerships, defining them as collaborative agreements where parties work together towards a common goal and share risks, responsibilities, and benefits. It outlines reasons for partnering like gaining new resources, capabilities, and access to markets. Success depends on complementary strengths and clear goals/expectations. Risks include low commitment, diverging strategies, and lack of trust. When considering partnerships, companies should evaluate if they can benefit from new resources and fill gaps. Due diligence includes understanding a potential partner's finances, operations, market presence, and customer service values.
This document outlines a three-step methodology for negotiating strategic business relationships: 1) Getting Ready, which involves preparing by identifying objectives, expectations, teams, and any gaps between desired and perceived arrangements; 2) Grounding, where gaps are verified and ranked in order to develop a negotiation strategy; 3) Negotiations, using the strategy to negotiate elements starting from most important. The goal is to bridge gaps and reach mutually beneficial agreements through an open process focused on understanding each party's perspectives, objectives, and risks.

This document discusses opportunities for collaboration between academia and industry to drive efficiency in research. It notes that while academia traditionally focused on pure research and industry on profit, drug discovery now requires a mixed model with contributions from both. Effective collaborations could help address challenges like rising costs and project attrition. However, differences in culture and goals can hamper partnerships. The document recommends developing focused projects and consortia, addressing intellectual property and conflicts of interest upfront, and managing collaborations strategically like an investment portfolio to maximize their potential for innovation.

This document summarizes a presentation on strategies for boosting pharmaceutical innovation given by Kenneth Kaitin. It discusses the current challenging environment for drug development, including expiring patents, competitive markets, and high costs. Drug development times are long with low success rates, driving costs upwards. Oncology has become a major focus of R&D investment. The presentation proposes ways to stimulate innovation in areas of high medical need but low commercial appeal, such as through regulatory and legislative incentives.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

sit down to engage in root-cause
diagnosis and correction.

CHARACTERISTICS OF
PARTNERSHIPS
10. ASCENDISPHARMA.COM | VERISTAT.COM10
DIFFERENT FROM A TRANSACTIONAL SERVICE RELATIONSHIP
Needs to last long enough to motivate investment (of time, effort, and/or capital) by
partners
drive continuous improvement and innovation
Close integration of planning and operations between partners
Information sharing
extensive integration of processes
coordinated decision-making
Significant investment in joint planning to minimize or mitigate risks to both sides
Define how each side will benefit, and what each sides needs to commit and and invest
to ensure success
11. ASCENDISPHARMA.COM | VERISTAT.COM11
STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS REQUIRE
High degree of TRUST
between partners
Tolerance for failure
Individual and organizational
competencies for managing
differences between partners,
and for managing inevitable
disagreement and conflict.
Robust governance structures
and mechanisms across multiple
functions and levels
Building and maintaining alignment
within each organization may be greater
than doing so with the partner.
Agreement language that
recognizes maximization of long-
term value over short-term gains
CROs view guaranteed revenue streams in
exchange for long-term commitments
(resourcing) more positively than penalty
language

Size and fit matter
Alignment of values between
parties matters
Relationships take time
19. ASCENDISPHARMA.COM | VERISTAT.COM19
IS STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
THE ONLY WAY?
Of course not
Single study, transactional or peak
activity resource engagement is fine
As long as expectations are clear on
both sides
20. Differences are acknowledged and
jointly managed
“We are all colleagues”
Sponsors provide high degree of
transparency regarding development
plans
Policies, process and procedures and
aligned and integrated so the team can
function smoothly as one
Clear roles and responsibilities
Potential problems are identified early
in an atmosphere of trust. Root cause
analysis and solutions are done together
ASCENDISPHARMA.COM | VERISTAT.COM20
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
MOST SUCCESSFUL
PARTNERSHIPS
21. Unclear or unrealistic expectations on one or
both sides
“You work for us; we don’t work for you.”
Sponsor provides limited visibility into
development plans
Lack of clarity around roles, responsibilities,
process and procedures
Sponsor either micro-manages or silos the
CRO
Problems are hidden from the other party
until it becomes difficult to solve without
significant detriment to the study
Blaming and shaming

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
LEAST SUCCESSFUL
PARTNERSHIPS
22. SUMMARY
ASCENDISPHARMA.COM | VERISTAT.COM22
Performance problems, high staff turnover, lack of team cohesion
may be related to sponsor/CRO relationship problems
It takes a lot of early work and planning to create a sustainable
partnership that works for both sides but the work pays dividends
Sponsors and CROs who invest in strategic partnerships often
report faster, more cost-effectively run studies
Building the relationship takes time. Don’t try shortcuts.
